You're not being specific enough.  Here are some things to look at:

Pyserial for your serial port-ing needs.

Struct module for C-structs.  Array module for homogenous binary data.

Have a look also at ctypes and xstruct (both external modules).

chr() and ord() builtins; shift and binary arithmetic operators.

I suspect what you are asking is something like:

struct.unpack('=bh', '\x10\x00*') -> (16, 10752)

But again, how can I know?
